Tetrahedrane is a hypothetical platonic hydrocarbon with chemical formula C₄H₄ and a tetrahedral structure. The molecule would be subject to considerable angle strain and has not been synthesized as of 2023^[update]. However, a number of derivatives have been prepared. In a more general sense, the term tetrahedranes is used to describe a class of molecules and ions with related structure, e.g. white phosphorus.
